Elder statesman and former Nigeria Ambassador to the United Nations, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari Tuesday said following the unfortunate killings of
three police detectives and a civilian in Taraba state, the Police and the Nigerian Army cannot afford to go their separate ways.
He further advised the Federal Government to adopt parts of the recommendations of the 2014 constitutional conference to address the myriad of challenges facing the country. He said: “We cannot leave everything to the Nigerian police and the Nigerian Army, even leaving high way patrols to Army, the level of the challenge will weaken the police and over stretched the army.
“Let us look at not the person who set up the this national conference, but what are the things there that can be used, and what are the things that will come out from this seminar today that will help us in terms of getting a better police and a better army because if we leave everything to the Nigerian Army even highway patrol, that will weaken the police and overstretched the Nigerian Arm”.
He said Nigerians should learn to say no to electoral violence and other vices that are capable of reversing the gains recorded in the past 20 years of democracy, noting that we have to create condition for peace and development of the country.
